[Verse 1] White dress On the back of a chair Your perfume Still asleep in the air I light one candle For every word we never said Shadows gather Where you once lay your head [Chorus] Take my heart My crimson crown Lay it gently On the ground If I fall I fall for you Through the dark And bleeding blue In the storm of all these vows I would break them For you now Every tear that pulls me down Shines against This crimson crown [Verse 2] Our framed smiles Face the empty room Gold dust Dancing in the afternoon I hum your name Til it cuts through my throat Wear your silence Like a borrowed coat [Chorus] Take my heart My crimson crown Lay it gently On the ground If I fall I fall for you Through the dark And bleeding blue In the storm of all these vows I would break them For you now Every tear that pulls me down Shines against This crimson crown [Bridge] [Children’s choir low Distant] You said “always” I said “stay” Time said “never” Stole you away [Solo female vocal Almost spoken] If love is a kingdom Let it burn Let it burn If all that I wanted Is all I can’t return (oh) [Chorus] Take my heart My crimson crown Lay it gently On the ground If I fall I fall for you Through the dark And bleeding blue In the storm of all these vows I would break them For you now Every tear that pulls me down Shines against This crimson crown [Outro] [Choir and lead in unison Soft] Every tear that pulls me down Shines against This crimson crown
